I’ll copy the whole announcement here for those who don’t want to click:
I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I’m conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.
It’s just a copy. The original still exists somewhere. That’s not stealing.
Reverse Sony logic.
I mean it’s OK - you’re not copying it, you’re using it to train an intelligence.
Yes, my own personal human intelligence. I promise training it will bring value to me and the community.
Even better: Your advancement is critical to ensure the American intelligence industry doesn’t fall behind.
Government: We are inclined to support your cause, but unfortunately, doing so will require annoying little things known as healthcare and worker rights. Denied.
it will bring value to […] the community.
I’m inclined to find this more believable than similiar statements of all the usual AI suspects.
I just need a few more billion and it’ll become profitable, I swear.
And all your water, please.
I don’t a lot. Just all of it.

It’s too advanced to be released
Just feed it to an AI, that makes it OK. I think having a local speech model on your phone in the same room with you while watching should be sufficient.

Someone give this person a congressional hearing and billions of dollars to burn
The Jellyfin instance, which normally just plays Ubuntu and other distro ISOs, of course.
I too stream Linux ISOs via my Jellyfin. My family enjoys it as well.
Mom can we watch ‘GRUB Not Found’ again?
Love the one person who down voted this joke 😆 No chill, lmao
DVD/Blu-Ray rips are legal in some countries if you don’t distribute them
Oh yeah, that’s totally what my Jellyfin instance is made of. Rips that I don’t distribute. 👍 Very good definition!
You can also have open-source songs like the GNU/hackers one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw
There is only one song though.
Only films from this list, of course.
end-users are rarely prosecuted or sued over piracy so idk why corporations wouldn’t get the same deal.
this is a big nothingburger if you wanna be honest.
piracy is much like drugs, where the occasional dealer gets nabbed if they’re too ostentatious but otherwise things just go on and on and on and on.
I can’t tell whether you’re kidding or not.
In Germany you absolutely get subpoenaed for the slightest copyright infringement. There a law firm called “Waldorf Frommer” that does all the dirty work for the so called rights holders.end-users are rarely prosecuted or sued over piracy
That wasn’t always true. The RIAA sued many people over music downloads (via bittorent since they’re technically hosting at the same time as downloading). They only stopped once the major studios figured out it would cost less to force the ISPs to do it for them.
I remember a time when the gaming community’s darling, CDPR, sent lawyers to people’s homes, demanding they pay because they pirated The Witcher 2.
I don’t know how times have changes, but it definitely happened depending on when and where you lived.
Because corporations aren’t pirating for personzl consumption, they are pirating to ingest huge amounts of data for commercial use.
I would be okay with it if it was all leading to a post-money society and it allowed art and trchnooogy to be created for whomever to access. But it ain’t, someone else is just getting rich off it.
Because corporations are repackaging the content and selling it, a big distinction you missed Mr. McNothingburger.
I hope this is not against rules 4 and 6, but… I fear it might be?
If you want me to remove the post just tell me (or report it to the mods, of course).
I’m only sharing this because I found it very funny :)
It is fun of course, or people don’t have a sense of humor.
Maybe they just added a whole new feature in a update. An aggressive magnet grabber.
It shows a sad truth of today’s world. People just repeat what they see without questioning it. They share what they see without knowing if it’s true. They bend the news title to get more reach. It sucks.
The hell are you talking about
@talkingpumpkin@lemmy.world you have the genes of IE6
Does that person explain what exactly they mean by “breaking confinement” resp “escaping sandboxing” and how it happened?
edit: I clicked the link now and there is no explanation. I’m not sure they’re even serious. I think this is some kind of netizen dada.
Yeah. “Breaking confinement” = confines broken.
